I ran on the treadmill yesterday for the first time in like 9 months. I've just been doing the bike lately, but would like to start running now that the weater is getting better.

I did about 1.5 miles, but the muscle on my shins (dunno what it's called) just couldn't go any more than that. My wind felt fine, though. Hopefully, that muscle will get built up a bit more so it won't be a problem for much longer.

same happens here, they cramp up. i need to do 3 miles in ~23 minutes (might join military in ~5 months), right now i can only do 1 mile in 7:40

i did it outside...i dont know....im pretty good at pacing i guess, you really gotta pump your arms, it helps time it....i was probably at like a 6:40min pace for the first 4 miles.....then i got tired....and it averaged out to about 7.
it was tough as hell....i had my buddy do it with me, its a lot easier to stay on pace when u have a running partner.

You should work on negative splits instead of positives

I agree with the pacing. a lot of runners in my group like to pace with me
